What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 7 September 2023 · Last inspected 4 August 2023
Family Homecare Ltd is a domiciliary agency providing personal care in people's own homes, supporting 36 people when inspectors visited. Inspectors found care that was respectful and unhurried, delivered by consistent staff who knew people well and tailored to their individual preferences. Oversight by the management team and the quality of written risk assessments and care records were identified as areas needing improvement.
- Relatives and families gave positive feedback, and people were reported to achieve good outcomes.
- Staffing levels were sufficient, and staff had been recruited with appropriate checks.
- Staff were well organised, supervised, and supported to develop their skills, including in medicines, infection control, eating and drinking support, and working with health professionals.
- Care was personalised, reviewed as needs changed, and concerns were handled promptly, with people supported to keep choice and control.
- The management systems did not give the registered manager full oversight of the service, and a recommendation was made to improve governance.
- Written risk assessments and care records were task-focused rather than reflecting the person-centred care people received, and a recommendation was made to improve them.
